11/15 as a Decimal
11/15 = 0.73̅
11/15 as a decimal is 0.73̅ — the digit 3 repeat forever (≈ 0.733333).
Step by step
- Divide 11 by 15: 0 whole (so the answer starts 0.), remainder 11.
- Bring down a 0: 110 ÷ 15 = 7, remainder 5.
- Bring down a 0: 50 ÷ 15 = 3, remainder 5.
- Bring down a 0: 50 ÷ 15 = 3, remainder 5.
- Bring down a 0: 50 ÷ 15 = 3, remainder 5.
- Bring down a 0: 50 ÷ 15 = 3, remainder 5.
- Bring down a 0: 50 ÷ 15 = 3, remainder 5.
- Result: 11/15 = 0.73̅ (repeating).
Why it repeats: after removing factors of 2 and 5, the denominator 15 still has the factor 3, so the division never ends and the remainders cycle. The repeating block “3” has 1 digit; round it to the precision you need, for example 0.73 or 0.7333.

How it works
A fraction means division: the numerator (top) divided by the denominator (bottom). Use long division, adding zeros after the decimal point until the remainder is zero or a remainder repeats. If the simplified denominator has only 2 and 5 as prime factors, the decimal terminates; otherwise it repeats forever, and the repeating digits are marked with a bar.
